This reminds me of my X-BOX for real. Absolutely amazing console. (I still miss those “Duke” controllers).

But the most common disc reader was terrible. Over time games would just stop reading. Halo: Combat Evolved, I kid-you-not, would start to load…and then load BACKWARDS, usually (but not always!) resulting in “Problems reading disc.”

Me and my co-op friend would be cheering it on like it was going for a touchdown LOL.

Crimson Skies too, I remember. I took great care of my discs but I guess the drive would just scuff them up over time.
